Brown Paper Packages!

I started to tackle my gift wrapping....I like to get crafty with it and make the package extra special! I think you may agree that tearing into a present is a hella ton more exciting than pulling tissue paper out of a used bag! Agree!?

For the wrapping paper I used the packaging paper that came with one of the gifts in the mail....I also used stamps, a vintage piece of lace, twine, and my trusty heat embosser! 

Simple and sweet, just the way I like it!...Get your creative minds in gear and give a specially wrapped package this Christmas...just say no to boring bags!
